STOVE.

J Application 'led January 7, 1924.'` Serial'No. 684,708. l

tively small cooking surface; was provided and a comparatively small top surface was provided suitable for keepingcooked foods warm. Furthermore, in such stoves the ven 'was either placed too low for convenience, or,

if raised, occupied a large part of the lateralv portionof 'the lstove and, hence, restricted the vcooking space. Furthermore, such stoves were constructed so that cooking efiiciency could not be obtained without a burner being especially lighted therefor.

Morespeciically, the object of my invention is, first, to provide an enlarged cookingv and heating surface while decreasing the horizontal dimensions ofthe stove; second,

to bring the oven into a more convenient and, fourth, to utilize the heat'generatedfor position; third, to utilize the heat of a' given burner for cooking purposes at a place` on the stove not immediately above such burner;

specific application to the oven foi` booking or warming purposes.

These objects are obtained in my construction primarily by utilizing thecooking top to form the upper ,and outer oven `wal1 and extending such top laterally of the oven whereby a burnerspace or spaces may be provided yimmediately below such cooking top. These lateral burner spaces or burner space and the oven burner space are connected with the space intermediate of 'the cooking top and the inner top oven wall, andv such intermediate space is vconnected with a suitable outlet in the stove frame, kall Y as will be'hereinafter more specifically pointed out.

' The annexed' drawings and the following description set for'h in detail certain lmeans embodying my invention, the disclosed means, however, constituting but one of the variousmechanical forms in which the principle o'f the invention may be emplo ed.

r y In the said annexed drawlngs:

. space or iue 17 andout of Figure 1 represents a plan of a `stove embodying my'invention.

jFig. 2 represents a-vertical longitudinal section.

The illustrated embodiment of my inven- 60 tion comprises a'cooking-top 1'; a suitable front wall 2,back wall 3, side walls 4 4,

and the bottom wall 5, the latter being provided with suitable inlets 6-6. .legs 7-7 areprovided in the usual manner.

Suitable i '65 The oven 8,is provided with the primary lateral walls-9 9 which extend` from front to rear of the stove, the inner wall 10, the

secondary lateral walls 11-11, and the botltom wall 12, Fig.- 2. A suitablebaflie-plat'e 70 13 is provided beneath the' bottom wall 12,

`and inl the burner chamber 14 beneath the 'oven are placed one or'more suitable burners 15, the inlets -6-6 furnishing air to said chamber, as will be understood. l.

The front of the top inner wall 10 is provided-with p'erforations 16 and the space'br due' 17 formed intermediately of the cookfing-top 1 and the main top wall l10 is connected at the back with. a suitable outletor ',vent,18, for the' gases of combustion.

The vertical flue spaces 19419 between the primary side-walls 9-9 and the `secondary walls 1 1-11 of the oven, connectthe upper part of the interior of the oven vwith theV burner-chamber 14 and permit the gases of. v

'combustion to pass into such top portion of the oven through the perforations 16 Iinto the the outlet or' flue 18. 90 As shown in Fig. 2, the cooking-top 1 extends laterally of both sides of the oven, and beneath these extended portions are formed the burner-chambers 20-20, in which are suitably located the required number of 'burners 21. The bottom of each chamber 20 is formed by a horizontal plate 24 extending outwardly from the adjacent partition 9, and intermediately of the ends of 4the latter. These extended cooking-top portions are also provided with a corresponding number of openings 22 in which suitable removable lids may be placed. These last-named burner chambers 20 are connected directly with the ntermediate top spa/ce or flue 17 as shown in 105 The gases of combustion from the burners l21 pass directly into the said intermediate space 17, and from it into'the outlet 18. l. QProjecting a short way into the flue space u l the center of the cooking top, to effectively' gases and heat the cooking top. l the above described construc- 17 are baille 'plates 23 which serve to direct the gases from the several -side burners and the gases passing from the lower burner through apertures 16 ofthe plate 10, toward distribute the By meanso tion, it willl therefore be seen that a cooking space .is -provided inthe cooking-top l at each side of the oven and whichis directly above ythe :burners 21. lThe space between the extended portions of the cooking-top, being directly connected with the burner chambers 20, is heatedby the gases of combustion generated therein, and is also heated by the gases of combustion generated in the oven burner-chamberli. This intermediate portion of the cooking-top may therefore also be used for cooking as well as ,warming purposes." Furthermore, when the burners 21-21 are not, but when the oven is, in use, this intermediate portion of the cooking-top isheated by the oven burners and may be utilized for"cooking'oi` `warming purposes, orboth.- Y y It will also be seen that the above construction eliminates burner chambers above the-oven so *that the latter may be raised in consequence, -thereby causing the cooking# top to form the outer and-upper wall of the oven. v l i It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the described structure maybe used with burners suitable for burning a liquid fuel such as kerosene, as readily as it'may be for a stove using gas for its fuel.

.l What I claim is:

1.' In a stove, the combination of a botf tom, front, back and side walls; a cooking vtop supported by said side walls; verticalr partition memberskinwardly spaced from the side wallsi and extending to within a short distance of the cooking top; a, plate connecting the upper edges of said partition members and providing a space permanently. n open at opposite ends between said plate and cookin top for the` assage of hot gases; an outv et opening at `t e rear of said space; burners beneath the lateral end portions of said cooking top and laterally of said' partition members and plates beneath theburners extending between said partition members ggd sidewalls and forming burner -ch'arn- V2. In a1stove,the combination of a bottom, front, backand side walls, a cooking top supported by said sidewalls; v pright partition -members extending .from t e bottom wall and having their Aupper .ends reslpetztivelyl 'a er exspaced from said coo n top; the tending laterally be on the upper ends 4of said partition ra; a burner beneath 'ing to a pa top; vertical partitions spaced vfrom the end walls and extending to a. pointnear the cook' ing'top; a horizontal plate vertically spaced from the cooking top connecting the upper edges of'said partit1ons and having a pluralityof perforations; an oven having a'bottom wall and side walls spaced from the said vertical 'partitions and extending short of said'horizontal plate, the' latter forming the top of such oven; a burner beneath the oven bottom; and an outlet iueconnecting' at the rear with the space between the cook-y ing top and said horizontal plate; burner chambers on opposite sides of said ,vertical partitions each having a permanent opening communicating with said s ace; and burners in said chambers; said cooking top extendin over said chambers and provided with lid openings. 4. The .combination specified in-claim 3, with the addition of baffle plates extending inwardly into the space formed between the horizontal plate and cooking top to direct the gases toward the center thereof."

with the addition of transverse plates extending from the l,vertical partition outwardly and forming the bottoms respectively,-

of the burner chambers.
